firewire: core: retry on local errors in bus manager election

When the candidate bus manager fails to do the lock request with which
it tries to become bus manager, it assumes that the current IRM is not
actually IRM capable and forces itself to become root.  However, if that
lock request failed because the local node itself was not able to send
it, then we cannot blame the current IRM and should not steal its
rootness.

In this case, RCODE_SEND_ERROR is likely to indicate a temporary error
condition such as exhausted tlabels or low memory, so we better try
again later.
